Hi All,

I'm using version 8.201M and I have the following command in my fex ...

CMD DIR *.*

to list the contents of the temp directory.

It works in our Dev environment but not in Test. I'm getting this error in Test ...

(FOC1569) SYSTEM COMMANDS DISABLED. CAN NOT EXECUTE CMD DIR *.*

In version 8.201M, what needs to be changed to allow system commands to work?

Thanks

Try putting SET OPSYSCMD = ON before that command

I didn't think that worked, as it breaks the security if you can just code around it.

I'm eager to find out if it works.

If it doesn't , you can use APP MAP and APP QUERY to get the contents of the directory.

Operating System command disabled for security purpose.if you want to enable.
Login to reporting server console
Click access Control
Right Click the Basic users and click General Privileges.
In the Adapters and Core Server
Uncheck NOSYS.
Then You should be able to run the system commands.

if the user id is added to other roles you have to do this on that role.
